Geocache Description:

This is a two stage multi-cache that will first take you to a small forgotten cemetery in northern LBL. There you will find the coordinates for the final stage located at a once popular overlook. Use the sign at the first location to determine the final location of the container. The final container is a camoflaged bottle with logbook only. BYOP.

O'Brien (O'Bryan) Cemetery is located along a gated road above the O'Brien Branch just off Kentucky Lake Drive (USFS Road 101).  The cemetery contains nine marked graves. The only known grave is that of S. F. Jones (Oct. 27, 1890 - Jan. 30, 1891).

The sligthly overgrown, but walkable road leads to Pilgram's Rest Overlook, which I thought was the former location of Pilgram's Rest Church. The church's was actually located 0.48 miles due north on the radio tower road where it turns south after cresting the ridge line.

PLEASE REHIDE THE CONTAINER AS FOUND. 

I do not know why TVA or the USFS close the road.  But DO NOT attempt to drive beyond the gate. Parking is available before the just off Kentucky Lake Drive. There is not need to pull up to the gate.  Remember to pull completely off the main road.


Stage 1:  Use the sign to determine the final location of the container.
